Dallas Green and Bobby Wine are always making appearances in the area, so I can get them IP. I figure on sending to Roy Sievers first, as I know he is fast and great TTM. If anyone has any other addresses or Success times that they would like to share, I'd appreciate it. I plan on updating this with every success like I did my 1950 Team photo. Thanks again, and wish me luck,
Mike

You have some great pieces in your collection. I am jealous of that 50's photo. Good luck on that new project. I have sent to AMaro and got a pretty quick response. It was in the off season but dont think he is affiliated with baseball anymore.

Good luck and I will see what addy's I could add. I have a few cards of theirs that I would like to send out. In particular tony taylor. Just not sure if I want to send it cuz I only have one card. Maybe send a photo that I could have multiples of.

Sorry about the multiple posts, the sight was freezing up when I posted this. Thanks for the heads up Pete, I'll give him a try. I came across a posting on signingshotline.com that Art Mahaffey is going a show on the 15th. The place is an hour away from me, but I contacted them, and they stated that they will do TTM requests. It's only 8 bucks a pop, so I'll be doing that first. Bobby Shantz will be there as well. He isn't on the photo, but was on that team for half the season, so I might as well get him too.

i was wondering if you were interested in a dallas green auto. Its on a baseball that I just got in Clearwater while on vacation.

I am also wondering if you ever sent to Bobby WIne? I found a card of his and really dont want to lose it. Please LMK iff you ever had a success

No thanks for he Green, I just want to get him on my 64 and 80 team photos. I've never sent to Wine, he still lives in the area and does some IP signings, so I'll just wait until he comes around again.

I sent letters to McLish, Roebuck and Wise about signing my photo on the 8th, and I've received letters back from Wise and McLish. I'll be sending to them as soon as I get my stuff back from the card shop that I mailed to that was having an appearance with Shantz and Mahaffey.

thats cool. I just thought that I would offer it to you. I got two balls signed while in Clearwater. My brother and I were both there so I got two. Figured that it could be trade bait.

Could you show me what kind of letter you are sending to players before you send your photo? I am thinking about doing some photos like you do. Please LMK what you write and any other info you might find interesting/

I got Art Mahaffey and Bobby Shantz at a card shop. I sent out to Cal McLish on the 27th of March and got him back today, so now I'm off to Rick Wise.

Maybe I'll have to start another thread. I had two awesome returns today. Carlos Ruiz sent back my Sports Illustrated, and Chris Coste signed my 2007 NL East Celebration Photo. I also have a 2008 celebration photo that I'll be getting signed tonight by Scott Eyre, who is making a local appearance. That will be 9 of the 25 guys on the roster, as I already have Hamels, Moyer, Jenkins, Happ, Werth, Madson, Romero and Coste. I'll try to get off my rear and post some pics in my bucket.

Nice successes. I got Ruiz IP at clearwater and TTM this spring. I also got one back from eaton. Coste IP as well.

I going to try a few this summer on cards first. Wait till next ST for IP of some of the tougher ones.

I have heard that Hamels had been good the last 2 seasons, but Im sure he is bombarded with requests after last seasons success. Im still focused on coaches around the league and have some good ones out. Check out my mailings thread if you are interested.

I just got Rick Wise back today after only 7 days. He signed my photo in Silver sharpie with his all-star years as requested. I included a 10 dollar check. Up next is Roy Sievers.
I sent permission letters out to Ed Roebuck(March 9th), Danny Cater(April 3rd) and Jack Baldschun(today), and am waiting on replies to see who I'll be sending to after Sievers,

What is the tally on that photo that you have? This sounds like a great project and a piece to cherish!

Great work

Thanks Pete. I'm doing pretty well, I've got Wise, Shantz, Mahaffey, McLish and just received Roy Sievers back yesterday. Danny Cater returned my letter the other day, so I'm mailing him tomorrow. Here's a link to the picture of how it looks thus far:

very cool! are you including the sharpies with the letter or are they just very courteous guys that are signing where it shows up best?

I got a few cards back from players whom will go nameless here that have signed in ball point pen on a baseball card! It looks horrible and wonder if I should send back to them and include a sharpie??? Maybe they will get the hint and not ruin anyone elses cards!

Im kidding of course, I am "asking" for an autograph and time out of their lives for a hobby. I would not really be that rude but thought it may be a nice gesture.

By the way, I got Dallas Green IP at spring training. You may want to try c/o the team or maybe he does a signing in the area? Its worth a shot...

He's got a signing in Bucks County in two weeks that I'll probably go to. Bake McBride, Marty Bystrom, Bob Boone and Luzinski are going to be there too.
I usually send a sharpie along with the photo.

I have a request out to Danny Cater, and I've seen a couple of quick returns from John Herrnstein at this address, si I guess I'll be off to him next:
603 Seminole Rd.
Chillicothe, OH 45601-1547

Hey guys, I got back my photo from Danny Cater. He signed it in the blue sharpie I sent, and returned the sharpie, as well as the check I gave him. I got a request letter return from Dennis Bennett, after about a week, and from Ed Roebuck after about two months. I think I'll go with Bennett first, the Herrnstein, then Roebuck. I'll keep you guys posted, and try to upload a new photo when I get the chance. I never received a return letter from Dave Bennett.

anything on dick allen? I have a few of his cards and would love to send to him and add that auto to the collection

I've never seen an addy on him. I actually have a nice Topps poster, about 12x22, from the late 60s that I have framed. Once of these days I send it to one of the cards shows that he does.

I just got back Dennis Bennett today. He signed my photo, and also included a signed picture of himself and his brother. I had sent a request letter out to his brother a few months ago, but never heard back. I'm off to John Herrnstein next. I posted an updated pic in my bucket.

Hey guys, I sent a request letter out to Johnny Briggs earlier this month. He said he would sign and sent me a signed 69 Topps! The address is

I just received John Herrnstein back. He signed my photo nicely in blue pen. I'll probably hang onto this for a bit, as I want to get Johhny Briggs next, but want to also send him a 70 team photo that I just won on the Bay.

Just got Briggs back. I sent him 10 bucks, and he signed my 64 and 70 Team photos as requested. Pics are loaded in my bucket. I'm probably about done with my 64 photo, but I got the 70 photo to work on now, as well as the 60, 83, and 93 photos I've been working on.
